Empire Spearmen - Work-in-Progress

Hey.

I was very kindly reminded by Warhammer 39999 that I needed to post again...to which end, last night I cracked open the tub of Empire Spearmen, fixed up all the broken pointy bits and set about painting a few more heads. Here's the unit ("regiment"?) as it stands:The other side of the banner:And with Tycho the Warrior Priest in the foreground:This experience reminded me why I don't paint WFB stuff more often:
  • Metal pointy buts are a real inconvenience;
  • The models aren't very robust;
  • They're too spiky to be able to stand in ranks very easily;
  • I hate painting 'natural' tones and I'm not at all good at it;
  • The State Troops models have too much detail, and it's really poorly executed;
  • I hate painting plumes.

Sigh.

  1. Compared fake Cartier to the already lightweight titanium DC6 watch, the Black Phantom Carbon is even lighter fake IWC with a reported weight of just 29.8 grams. That puts the watch in line with many modern fake Panerai ultra-high-luxury timepieces that value weight-savings over bulk on the wrist. While a nice solid-feeling watch is fake Vacheron Constantin still wonderful to wear, lightweight traditional mechanical watches in such replica watches high-end forms are still an interesting novelty that wearers like. The biggest value in replica watches uk a very lightweight wristwatch is being able to go about your day, often forgetting you have anything at all on your wrist.
    D. Candaux designed fake rolex the DC 6 watches to be 43mm-wide and 12.6mm-thick. The curves and angles of the case are attractive and traditional fake Rolex in their design but also unique in the world of horology. So is the movement in the watch, for that matter. Inside the replica rolex DC6 Black Phantom Carbon is an in-house designed and -manufactured Swiss-made automatic tourbillon movement that fake watches is comprised of 287 hand-finished parts. The manually wound movement is a gorgeous rolex replica work of art and artisanship.
